Project guy here - yes, succinct messaging is an issue I'm working on - there is literally so much there. I've been trying to frame it like an Iceberg - on the above the water level its a nice drag and drop "data canvas" that supports SQL and Clojure nREPL connections (meaning it could be any REPL) that generates code to be tweaked and modded for what you need it for (with some very customizable composition).

But underneath the water line it's almost like a pub/sub reactive value engine - since everything is essentially a named parameter that can be subbed to by the client (by referencing it) and the client will push updates to any subbed clients. So, run a flow - each step in the flow is it's own subbable value - run a solver (arbitrary function) - its a sub value - signals (boolean triggers) also a sub... not to mention other client's UI values... also a subbable value.

It's a deep rabbit hole (pun intended?) of reactive / cascading effects - which is a great fertile ground for interactive dash creation. IMHO data tools want to be feedback loop factories.
